Episode notes
Life Is Chesed Or Gevurah
- Life problems reduce to two forces: excess flow (chesed) or excess restriction (gevurah).
- Balancing these forces creates harmony and proper responses to situations.
Set Boundaries When Generosity Enables
- Set clear boundaries when generosity becomes enabling and creates resentment.
- Turn up appropriate gevurah when people-pleasing or enablement stops growth.
Use Discipline With Compassion
- Use clear accountability and consistent consequences as healthy gevurah.
- Speak truth kindly and enforce structure instead of punishing without compassion.
